Thanks so much for playing and reviewing!

I appreciate the tip about Audacity. Glad you were amused by the voiceovers; a lot of people commented on those. I actually recorded them at the absolute last minute.

I'll work on the difficulty curve. I end up playing my own game so much that I get really good at it, so I lose sight of the challenge level. 

In terms of the controls, the game really wasn't designed for the mouse. My intention was that the dominant hand would rest on the keys I (Swing Sword), J (Berserk Charge), K (Shell of Courage), and L (Torrent of Flame), which are clustered together on the keyboard. That leaves the non-dominant hand on WASD (if you're right handed) or the arrow keys (if you're left handed). In retrospect, I probably should have turned off the mouse attack option entirely, because most players don't have three hands.

The UI interfering with the real estate was something that I wrestled with. At certain points in development I mostly hid it (except for the heart/scar icons), but then it's almost impossible to remember which abilities are unlocked (and you can't keep track of where the cooldown is). I need a hard think about this one.

Lastly--I really enjoyed watching you play. Your verbal comments were very helpful, but in addition to that, actually watching a person play your game is incredibly valuable feedback in itself. Cheers.

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the game.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. :)

Thanks, so glad you enjoyed!

That is a really good suggestion... I'm embarrassed it didn't occur to me. :)

Thank you so much! A lot of people liked the voice overs. It was literally a last-minute inspiration, but I agree they add a bit of flavor. :)

I was afraid this wouldn't be clear enough! The Singing Blade is just double damage. The slider just shows your blade swing cooldown.

Heh heh. I wasn't sure whether that would get annoying after a while.

I usually just create 8-bit-style beeps and buzzes to use as sound effects, but something possessed me to go another route with this project. The sound effects are more or less the last thing I do.

Thanks so much for trying it! :)

Thanks so much for checking it out! Glad you appreciated the extra finishes. :)

Thanks for trying it out, glad you had fun!

It did turn out a bit harder than I intended, but I can beat it fairly reliably. The secret is to spam your abilities once you're very low on health. :)

Thank you for trying it out! Glad you enjoyed. :)

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed. :)

Thank you! I always try not to go too hard in a jam game, but... I'm an old-school gamer, I guess...

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you! I was going for a Korgoth of Barbaria vibe. :D

Thanks a lot! Working on an action game was a good change of pace. :)
